Beşiktaş form and stats

Beşiktaş, who have the most scored goals (62) in Super Lig, are steadily winning Super Lig games and points here at Vodafone Park. 11 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 14 games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Beşiktaş has won six games in a row. The Antalyaspor match was the last time out without a victory. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Beşiktaş, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Beşiktaş's previous game was a Turkish Cup match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus İstanbul Başakşehir (after extra-time) (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting İstanbul Başakşehir.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Yalçın when C. Larin scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Beşiktaş have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost three.

The Beşiktaş manager A. Yalçın has got the team scoring with 32 from 14 home games in the league. From these home matches, Beşiktaş have conceded only 8 goals.

Fenerbahçe form and stats

The away performances of Fenerbahçe, who have the most points (35) away in Super Lig, have been very solid so far with 11 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the Super Lig. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Gazisehir Gaziantep game have they lost an away game, meaning Fenerbahçe has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Home advantage was not enough for Fenerbahçe in their previous game, as they lost their Super Lig-match, hosting Gençlerbirliği, 1-2. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Konyaspor at their stadium, the result 3-0.

Fenerbahçe are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of one match.

The Fenerbahçe manager E. Bulut has got the team scoring on the road, with 30 away goals in 14 league matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe have met before this season: Fenerbahçe - Beşiktaş 3-4. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Beşiktaş, four draws and three wins for Fenerbahçe. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
